The project of a good and com

fair way of being consumatetf,
The arrangement is to bring here
the entire raachineiy of the can

Parker, which, at a nominal cost
can be changed into a number one
fruit canning establishment. A
gentleman who is thoroughly ex
perienced in the business has al
ready indicated that he will come
and take charge of the work, aud
A large proportion of the stock has
already been subscribed enough
to plainly indicate that it will he

cannery need not be enumerated
for they ar apparent, not onlv in
the direction of giving employ
ment for many people and an ex
Calient investment for money, but
also for extending and creating a
market for all kinds of fruits, ber
ries and vegetables. The farmers
as well as our city business men
should take stock in the business
and help to make it a success for
it would create an industry that
would pay big returns.

HATHA! BAUM'8 SUICIDE.
A Ftrnir Citiiti of Albaay Taktt Hli
Ova Lift ia ftrtlaia.
The news of the suicide of
Nathan Baum in Portland Mon
day evening was received in this
citv vet-tiidav with profound re
gret and surprise. The particulars
of the unfortunate affair, as pub
Halted in the Oreeoman, are as fol-
lows: A black crape hangs from
the front door of the Baum resi
dence. No. 235 Yamhill street,
to-dav as an evidence of death
and mourning. N. Baum, the
senior member of the firm of
Baum & Brandes. lies dead within.
He died about seven o'clock last
evening from the effects of a pistol
wound that is believed to have
been self-inflicted.
The news of Mr. Baum's death
spread rapidly on the streets, and
for a while the First street res
taurant and confectionery store of
the firm was closed. It was as
much of a surprise to the business
Dublic of Portland as it was a
shock to his family and friends,
He had been in his usual good
health, his family relations were
the most pleasant, and no one
thought he had financial troubles
that would cause him to take his
own life. He stood well in finan
cial circles, had a host of friends,
and financial reverses, if any he
had, his friends claim shjuld not
have induced him to take his own
life.
Mr. Baum left his restaurant on
First street about six o'clock last
evening and took dinner with his
family and several friends. While
at the table he chatted pleasantly
and appeared in the best of
spirits.
seven
Dinner was over about
seven o crock, and as was bis
usual custom he lit his cigar and
went up stairs. He had hardly
been out of the room a minute
when Mrs. Baum heard a report
up stairs.
She thought a window had
dropped, and went up to investi
gate, and her surprise can be
imagined when she found her hus
band Ivinir on the floor of the bath
room, with blood and the brains
oozinirout of large hole through
the head. A 38-caliber pistol,
with one chamber discharged, lay
near the head on the floor.
Mrs. Baum nearly went into
hysterics so great was the shock,
and her screams attracted the rest
of the family. Although Mr.
Baum was dead, several phvsi-
cians were sent lor, and nnany
Coroner River.
At the request of the family, no
inauest was held. The physicians
agreed that she had committed
suicide, although many of his
friends refused to believe it, say
ing that he accidentally shot him
self. It is said that he had 'oet
money recently at the gaming
table.
The deceased was 46 years of
age and leaves a wife, a beautiful
daughter Emma, aged 17, and two
sons, Sol and Joseph, aged vu and
15 vears respectively, tie has
been in Oregon since 1863, and in
business in Portland for about ten
vears. I e was at one time county
clerk of Linn county and was a
prominent merchant Albany for
many years.

THE SOILS OF THB STATE.
Attempt ta ObUii Certain Iiftrtltn
for tks Bentfit of FaiBtrt,
Professor G. W. Shaw, chemist
of the Oregon Agricultural Col leu
experiment station, has just issued
a circular to the farmers of the
state, giving a list of questions re
lating to the natural charactens
tics of the soil, which, if answered.
will furnish the college with a vast
amount of information, which,
when arranged and digested, will
be published in such form as to be
valuable not only to residents of
the state, but also to intending
settlers and ti capitalists seeking
investments for their wealth.
Professor Shaw's circular and the
questions are here given, so that
any farmer who fails to receive a
copy ol the circular, and who may
feel so disposed, may answer them
and thus add to tbe store of lnlor
mation sought All replies should
be addressed to G. W. Shaw,
chemist, experimental, station,
Corvallis, Ore. Following is the
circular :
Tbe circular is issued for the
purpose of securing mors definite
information concerning the agn
cultural features of the various
portions of state, in order that the
various tola, mineral localities
and mineral waters may be prop
erly located and ciassined, lead
ing to the preparation of a correct
agricultural and mineral map of
the state. It is of inestimable
importance to the state that a full
and correct knowledge of the agri
cultural and mineral resources bo
thoroughly investigated, collated
and given to the public in such
form as may be of value not only
to the present residents of the
state, but to the many persons in
the east who are desirous of ascer
taining the triuh concerning these
matters before venturing to locate
on this coast.
Work is now under way at the
station to gather such information
from all possible sources, and pre
liminary experiments are now be
ing made to ascertain the physi
cal and chemical nature of the
various soils.
At present the station has not
funds to enable it to send men
into all parts of the state, nor even
to establish branch stations at ya
riouB points, and so there is a con
stant and increasing call to fur
nish information regarding the
best agricultural practice in this
state, tbe question very naturally
arises, "By what process shall the
needful knowledge of climate and
soil conditions be acquired?" So
far as the first is concerned, pro
vision has already been made by
the state weather service, whose
investigations and reports are dis
seminating much valuable infor
mation, lo aciuire the balance
of the data, however, it has been
thought best to urge the co-opera-
lion oi an larmers and those in
forested in the agricultural and
mineral resources of the state.
In order to be of value the work
must be very carefully and svste
matically done, and although it
would takea few.men,working inde
pendently, a locg time to a auire
a limited knowledge of the subject
in uanu, yet Dy a uearty co opera-
tion of residents of the state and
the station force, it is hoped that
much valuable information may
be secured. In this agricultural
survey it is intended to include all
points that should be of interest
to the farmer, either direct or in
direct, and with this in view it is
intended to investigate, so far as
time will permit, the mineral re
sources. Including the waters.both
mineral and irrigating.
These investigations are made
for the benefit of the state at
large. They will be put in proper
form for circulation, and all who
desire copies ot the publications
as they appear from time to time
will be furnished the same free
upon application.
In order to obtain the desired
information, circulars containing
a list ol questions, answers to
which are desired, will be issued
from time to time, and we ask that
you answer these as fully as possi-
Die, ana in audition send us all
data that you may think of inter
est in this work.
The amount of information
along these lines that can be dis
seminated by the station depends
largely upon the little aid received
iroui each one, which in the aggre
gate win amount to a large store
of information.

The 1891 contingents of the ap

made their report. The wave of

about three years ago was the
means of pouring in upon tbe rail'

from intending and actual settlers
as to prices. To most of these tbe
lind agent was obliged to return

Parties of appraisers were at once
started out, and have gradually
been reducing the list of unknown
lands. Another five years' work
will clean them all np. These
parties have been out this year
and have examined in all 365,000
acres, some of it is valuable
will be sold for $2.50 an acre,
Two sets of appraisers were in the
yalley and their operations were
mostly confined to Benton, Linn
and Lane counties. The land is
chiefly in the foothills and consists
of small valleys running up into
uuard.
A Bit of History,
Oregonian note and comment
says that several papers have pub
lished a statement thatJ.H. Stme,
editor of tbe Whit sen Advance,
who was murdered by a crazy man
in Yamhill county about two
weeks ago, was the first newspaper
man ever killed in Oregon. This
is incorrect. A newspaper man
named McDonald was editing the
Telegram in this city -in 1878, and
one J. K. Mercer was an employe
of the Bee, owned by w. s u nap-
man. The papers were blackcuan
ing with each other, and one day
Mercer met McDonald on the cor
ner of First and Stark streets, shot
and killed him with a bull-dog
revolver, McDonald having been
also armed. Mercer was convicted
only of manslaughter and sen
tenced to fifteen years in the peni
tentiary. After about three years'
imprisonment, be was pardoned on
condition that be leave the state.

An Olympia scientist measured
a big fir tree the other day, and
found it to be slightly over 300 feet
high. Intending to send the report
of the measurement to a mend in
Cleveland, O., he wished to add
other testimony to his own, and
invited a minister of the gospel to
measure the tree. The result was
sent to the Ohio man, who, im
mediately upon its receipt, accord
ing the Olympian, sent this dis
patch: "We read Munchausen
when a ooy." ine scientists now
wonders whether the bulk of the
joke is upon himself or upon the
preacher.
Unhappy Marriage Halations,
Sheriff Matt Scott returned yes-
teruay from Harrisburg with the
15-year-old son of H. H. Davis, of
this city. This was done on a
sworn complaint from Mrs. Davis
alleging that the boy had gone to
Harrisburg witb tbe intention of
accompanying his father, from
whom she is separated, to uanior-
nia. The boy win remain with
his mother, who resides' at Leb
anon, until tbe matter is settled
in the courts. A suit to dissolve
the bond of marriage existing be
tween the above parties is pend
